For one-dimensional interval and integrable weight function $w$ we define via completion a weighted Sobolev space $H^{m,p}_{\mu_w}$ of arbitrary integer order $m$. The weights in consideration may suffer strong degeneration so that, in…

We give a quantitative characterization of traces on the boundary of Sobolev maps in $\dot{W}^{1,p}(\mathcal M, \mathcal N)$, where $\mathcal{M}$ and $\mathcal{N}$ are compact Riemannian manifolds, $\partial \mathcal{M} \neq \emptyset$: the…

We study global regularity properties of Sobolev homeomorphisms on $n$-dimensional Riemannian manifolds under the assumption of $p$-integrability of its first weak derivatives in degree $p\geq n-1$. We prove that inverse homeomorphisms have…

A basilar property and a useful tool in the theory of Sobolev spaces is the density of smooth compactly supported functions in the space $W^{k,p}(\R^n)$ (i.e. the functions with weak derivatives of orders $0$ to $k$ in $L^p$). On Riemannian…

We construct a family of non-parametric (infinite-dimensional) manifolds of finite measures on $R^d$. The manifolds are modelled on a variety of weighted Sobolev spaces, including Hilbert-Sobolev spaces and mixed-norm spaces. Each supports…

We consider complete non-compact manifolds with either a sub-quadratic growth of the norm of the Riemann curvature, or a sub-quadratic growth of both the norm of the Ricci curvature and the squared inverse of the injectivity radius. We show…

We introduce the manifold of {\it restricted} $n\times n$ positive semidefinite matrices of fixed rank $p$, denoted $S(n,p)^{*}$. The manifold itself is an open and dense submanifold of $S(n,p)$, the manifold of $n\times n$ positive…

We prove well-posedness and higher-order regularity for a linear structurally damped plate equation with inhomogeneous Dirichlet--Neumann boundary conditions on the half-space and on bounded domains. To this end, we study maximal regularity…

In the present paper we study embedding operators for weighted Sobolev spaces whose weights satisfy the well-known Muckenhoupt A_p-condition. Sufficient conditions for boundedness and compactness of the embedding operators are obtained for…

We identify all the weak sequential limits of smooth maps in $W^{1,2}(M,N)$. In particular, this implies a necessary and sufficient topological condition for smooth maps to be weakly sequentially dense in $W^{1,2}(M,N)$.

This manuscript develops a framework for the strong approximation of Sobolev maps with values in compact manifolds, emphasizing the interplay between local and global topological properties. Building on topological concepts adapted to VMO…

In this article, for $N \geq 2, s \in (1,2), p\in (1, \frac{N}{s}), \sigma=s-1 $ and $a \in [0, \frac{N-sp}{2})$, we establish an isometric isomorphism between the higher order fractional weighted Beppo-Levi space \begin{align*} {\mathcal…

The present paper develops two concepts of pointwise differentiability of higher order for arbitrary subsets of Euclidean space defined by comparing their distance functions to those of smooth submanifolds. Results include that…

Consider the space $W^{2,2}(\Omega;N)$ of second order Sobolev mappings $\ v\ $ from a smooth domain $\Omega\subset\R^m$ to a compact Riemannian manifold $N$ whose Hessian energy $\int_\Omega |\nabla^2 v|^2\, dx$ is finite. Here we are…

We develop an intrinsic, heat-kernel based fractional Sobolev framework on closed Riemannian manifolds and study the critical fractional Sobolev embedding. We determine the optimal coefficient of the lower-order $L^{p}$ term and prove that…

Relying on a recent criterion, due to A.~Petrunin [18], to check if a complete, non-compact, Riemannian manifold admits an isometric embedding into a Euclidean space with positive reach, we extend to manifolds with such property the…

Given $(M, g)$ a smooth compact $(n+1)$-dimensional Riemannian manifold with boundary $\partial M$. Let $\rho$ be a defining function of $M$ and $\sigma \in(0,1)$. In this paper we study a weighted Sobolev-Poincar\'e type trace inequality…

We prove that weakly differentiable weights $w$ which, together with their reciprocals, satisfy certain local integrability conditions, admit a unique associated first-order $p$-Sobolev space, that is \[H^{1,p}(\mathbb{R}^d,w\,\d…

Brezis and Mironescu have announced several years ago that for a compact manifold $N^n \subset \mathbb{R}^\nu$ and for real numbers $0 < s < 1$ and $1 \le p < \infty$ the class $C^\infty(\overline{Q}^m; N^n)$ of smooth maps on the cube with…

The study of certain differential operators between Sobolev spaces of sections of vector bundles on compact manifolds equipped with rough metric is closely related to the study of locally Sobolev functions on domains in the Euclidean space.…
